Dr. Tim Pollock explores a foundational and deeply meaningful question: Why does God reveal Himself by so many names in the Bible, and what do those names teach us about who He really is?

Far from being decorative titles, the names of God are divine revelations. Each name unveils something true about God’s character—His power, faithfulness, nearness, holiness, and saving grace. Scripture reminds us, “They that know thy name will put their trust in thee” (Psalm 9:10), and this episode shows why knowing God’s names leads to deeper trust, stronger prayer, and a richer relationship with Him.

In this study, you’ll discover:

• Why names in Scripture reveal identity, nature, and relationship

• Key Old Testament names of God such as El, Elohim, El Shaddai, Adonai, and Yahweh

• The meaning and promise behind compound names like Jehovah Jireh, Rapha, Shalom, Rohi, and Tsidkenu

• How every name of God finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ

• Why knowing God’s names is not just informational, but relational

This episode gently but clearly explains why all names for God are not the same, and how the biblical names of God uniquely reveal the true and living God who saves, provides, heals, and stays near to His people.

Whether you’re new to studying Scripture or have walked with the Lord for many years, this message will help you know God more deeply, trust Him more fully, and worship Him more richly.

In Part Two of this important conversation, Dr. Tim Pollock continues addressing a question that repeatedly surfaces in the Christian life: Should a Christian drink alcohol?

This episode moves beyond the clear biblical prohibition of drunkenness to examine the deeper principles Scripture provides regarding wisdom, leadership, testimony, and influence. With a pastoral heart and a Bible-centered approach, Dr. Tim explains why this issue is far more than a matter of personal preference or cultural acceptance.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why Scripture consistently calls God’s people to sobriety and clear-minded living

• The king, priest, and Rechabite principles and what they teach believers today

• God’s warning about influencing others toward alcohol

• The real spiritual, relational, and societal risks connected to drinking

• Why Christian liberty must always be governed by love, wisdom, and testimony

• When Scripture allows alcohol for limited medicinal use—and why that exception matters

This is not a message of condemnation or legalism, but one of protection, clarity, and care for souls. The central question is not simply Can a Christian drink? But rather Is it wise, helpful, and honoring to God?

If alcohol has become a struggle, this episode also offers hope—reminding listeners that Christ breaks chains, restores hearts, and fills lives with the power of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, Dr. Tim Pollock addresses a question Christians ask often—but one that is frequently answered emotionally, culturally, or defensively: What does the Bible really say about drinking alcohol?

Rather than appealing to tradition, personal preference, or modern culture, this conversation carefully opens Scripture to examine the issue from a biblical and theological perspective. Anchored in Ephesians 5:18, Dr. Tim explains why alcohol is not merely a social issue but a spiritual one, and why Scripture consistently contrasts intoxication with being filled with the Holy Spirit.

This episode explores:

• Why the Bible places alcohol and Spirit-filling side by side

• The difference between biblical wine and modern alcohol

• How drunkenness consistently leads to spiritual and moral harm

• Eight practical, biblical questions believers should ask about drinking

• Why God does not offer restriction to remove joy—but provides something far better

Whether you’ve wrestled with this question personally or want a clear, Scripture-based answer to share with others, this episode will help you think biblically, live wisely, and walk faithfully in a confusing world.
